How does Plan Vivo define double counting? Double counting (see the PV Climate Glossary) is defined as - 'Use of a single greenhouse gas emission reduction or removal to demonstrate compliance with more than one mitigation target. This can result in Double Claiming – where more than one party claims the same Carbon Benefit to comply with their mitigation targets, or Double Issuance – where more than one emission reduction unit is registered for the same Carbon Benefit under different mechanisms.'
